Jesuítas, indígenas e o Código Religião nas crônicas de Maynas, Mojos e Chiquitos no século XVIII * Jesuits, indigenous peoples and the Religion Code in the Maynas’, Mojos’ and Chiquitos’ chornicles of the XVIIIth century

A study of 18th-century Jesuit mission chronicles from Maynas, Mojos, and Chiquitos reveals the intricate cultural translation processes between Jesuits and indigenous populations. By analyzing the discourses of three missionaries—Francisco J. Eder, Pablo Maroni, and Juan P. Fernández—the research highlights how the concept of religion, particularly the depiction of the devil, was used to bridge cultural gaps and facilitate evangelization. This approach sheds light on the complex interplay between religious and cultural dynamics during the Jesuit missions in South America.
